The Matrix XRS is quick, nimble, and comfortable. I could spend all day driving through the twisties... and I have tried, but have yet to find to edge of the latteral grip envelope. This thing sticks like glue! Top speed to date is 118 with more left in her. The rear hatch open two ways, and is great for hauling groceries or surfboards. Best of all, after 20,000 miles the only problem I've had was a squeaky auxilory drive (belt was too tight) that Toyota replaced without hassle.

FUNctional Car
I absolutely love my Matrix. It handles very well around turns at higher speeds. The interior space is awesome! Lots of head and leg room not to mention cargo space. It has a very sporty feel inside and out. The only complaints I have are, it could be a bit more peppy with maybe a 2.0 vs. 1.8 and the gas milage could be alot better. I only get 20-25 tops. This is my first Toyota. I have had many Hondas in the past and I can't say I regret leaving Honda. I loved all of my Honda's but my Matrix has more room than the Civics and are alot more fun to drive.

The matrix is a great car. Dispite what the editors review say, its fun to drive. I agree with some consumers in that Toyota can improve on the quality of it's dash board interior. I hope they're listening. Overall, it's drivability has been very reliable and I push it hard.
My Matrix XRS
I have currently just over 7500 miles on the Matrix and have had reasonable luck with the car. Service on the vehicle has thus far been normal oil/filter changes (every 3,000 miles), tire rotation at 5,000 miles, and 2 warranty repairs. The first was a replacement door on the compartment below the shifter - it would pop open at the slghtest bump - after replacement - it still does it. The second was a check engine light - oxygen sensor and catalytic converter replaced.
